TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure pertains to fosprofol salts, and the use of fospropofol salts, or mixtures thereof, to treat migraine.

BACKGROUND

Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is an intravenous short-acting anesthetic agent that has gained acceptance for inducing and maintaining anesthesia and for procedural sedation. Propofol is a highly lipophilic drug which must be formulated as a suspension with a lipid carrier in aqueous medium. Consequently, propofol derivatives were developed which possessed increased water solubility to simplify formulation. One of these was Fospropofol ((2,6-diisopropylphenoxy)methyl dihydrogen phosphate). Fospropofol is a water-soluble, phosphono-O-methyl prodrug of propofol that was approved in the United States as an alternative to propofol for monitored anesthesia care during procedures.

Fospropofol is rapidly metabolized by endothelial alkaline phosphatases to release propofol, phosphate, and formaldehyde. The small amounts of formaldehyde is rapidly converted to formate and safely eliminated, similar to the other available phosphate methyl prodrugs such as fosphenytoin.

Migraine is a primary headache disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that may be moderate or severe. Typically, the headaches affect one half of the head, are pulsating in nature, and last from two to 72 hours. Many people experience migraines lasting for at least four hours or even lasting for days.

Migraines are called primary headaches because the pain is not caused by another disorder or disease such as a brain tumor or head injury. Symptoms of migraines may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or smell. The pain is generally made worse by physical activity. Some cause pain on just the right side or left side of the head, others result in pain all over. Migraine sufferers may have moderate or severe pain and usually can't participate in normal activities because of the pain. Often when a migraine strikes, people try to find a quiet, dark room.

Many people have an aura with a migraine, typically a short period of visual disturbance that signals that the headache will soon occur. Sufferers have reported seeing flashes or bright spots. Occasionally, an aura can occur with little or no headache following it.

The range of time someone is affected by an attack is often longer than the migraine itself, as there is a pre-monitory, or build-up phase, and a post-drome phase that can last one to two days. Different people have different triggers and different symptoms.

Migraines are believed to be due to a mixture of environmental and genetic factors. Genomics of migraines have been examined and certain gene mutations have been associated with severe migraines, but the etiology is presumably polygenic. Changing hormone levels may also play a role, as migraines affect slightly more boys than girls before puberty and two to three times more women than men after puberty. Catemanial migraine is not uncommon in women associated with the menses.

Migraines are believed to involve the nerves and blood vessels of the brain. However, older ideas that migraines were principally vascualar in nature are now considered to be incorrect. Although an exact cause is unknown, brain scans show that migraines may be due to “hyperactivity” in parts of the brain. This activity can spread across the cortex during the course of the migraine, whch is known as spreading cortical depression.

Migraines are one of the most common causes of disability. There are about 100 million people with recurrent headaches in the U.S. and about 37 million of these people have migraines. The World Health Organization suggests that 18 percent of women and 7 percent of men in the U.S. suffer from migraines. Globally, approximately 15% of people are affected by migraines. Migraines most often start at puberty and get worse during middle age. In some women, migraines become less common following menopause. Migraine headaches are a common cause of disability in the United States, affecting approximately 27 million American adults, or 17.1% of women and 5.6% of men.

There is often a distinction between a migraine with an aura and a migraine without an aura. The most current terminology defines a classic migraine as a migraine with an aura and non-classic or common migraine as a migraine without aura. Also, there is often a distinction between chronic migraine and episodic migraine. Chronic migraine, which affects 3.2 million Americans (2%), is characterized by the presence of migraine symptoms for at least 15 days per month, lasting at least 4 hours, and for longer than 3 months in duration. Episodic migraine, in contrast, causes symptoms for fewer than 15 days per month.

Current treatments for migraine are divided into acute, abortive agents (analgesics, triptans, ergots, etc.), and medications that will prevent migraine onset. Initial recommended treatment is with simple pain medication such as ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) for the headache, medication for the nausea, and the avoidance of triggers. Specific medications such as triptans or ergotamines may be used in those for whom simple pain medications are not effective. Caffeine may also be used for treatment.

The oral triptan preparations (Imitrex, Maxalt, Zomig, Axert, Relpax) are thought to be generally effective in only 60 to 70% of patients. Indeed, a large percentage of migraine sufferers become resistant or refractory to current migraine treatments. Also, in a significant number of patients (perhaps 30%) in which they are effective, they produce cardiological side effects which are unpleasant, lead to poor compliance, and which can be quite problematic.

Various preparations of NSAIDS such as diclofenac and ketorolac are used to treat the symptomatology of migraines, but their effect is limited and they do not abrogate the onset of the migraine as do the Triptans and the CGRP agents (see below). Opiates are generally ineffective and are contraindicated. The antidepressant and mood stabilizer Amitriptyline is quite effective in low dose in a small subset of patients, as are anticonvulsants and mood stabilizers such as Topirimate, Valproate, and Gabapentin.

The recent approval (2018) of agents which act on the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been beneficial in migraine. These are all antibodies with high affinity binding to the CGRP receptor. They include Aimovig® (erenumab), a IgG2 humanized monoclonal antibody; Emgaliyt® Galcanezumab, an IgG4 Kappa-chain dimer monoclonal antibody; and Ajovy® (fremanezumab), an IgG2 Δa/kappa humanized monoclonal antibody. However, although these agents work in many patients in which the triptans are ineffective or not tolerated, there are still a significant subset of patients in which they are ineffective. Furthermore, being recombinant biologicals, they are rather expensive, and need to be administered monthly by injection in order to continue to prevent migraines in those patients in which they do work.

CGRP targeted small molecules such as Ubrogepant (MK-1602) and Rimegepant (BMS-927711) remain in late-phase clinical trials. However, they will presumably target the same subset of patients who will respond the CGRP antibodies described supra.

Thus, there is a need for additional methods of treating migraine, particularly refractory migraine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions

A crystal form may be referred to herein as being characterized by graphical data “as shown in” a Figure. Such data include, for example, powder X-ray diffractograms (XRPD), Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) profiles, and dynamic vapor sorption profiles (DVS). As is well-known in the art, the graphical data potentially provides additional technical information to further define the respective solid state form which can not necessarily be described by reference to numerical values or peak positions alone. Thus, the term “substantially as shown in” when referring to graphical data in a Figure herein means a pattern that is not necessarily identical to those depicted herein, but that falls within the limits of experimental error or deviations, when considered by one of ordinary skill in the art. The skilled person would readily be able to compare the graphical data in the Figures herein with graphical data generated for an unknown crystal form and confirm whether the two sets of graphical data are characterizing the same crystal form or two different crystal forms.

The terms “polymorph” or “crystalline form” refer to distinct crystal arrangements of the same chemical composition. The term “form” includes polymorphs, crystalline forms, and non-crystalline (amorphous) solids.

A solid, crystalline form may be referred to herein as “polymorphically pure” or as “substantially free of any other form.” As used herein in this context, the expression “substantially free of any other forms” will be understood to mean that the solid form contains about 20% or less, about 10% or less, about 5% or less, about 2% or less, about 1% or less, or 0% of any other forms of the subject compound as measured, for example, by XRPD. Thus, a solid form of a fospropofol salt described herein as substantially free of any other solid forms would be understood to contain greater than about 80% (w/w), greater than about 90% (w/w), greater than about 95% (w/w), greater than about 98% (w/w), greater than about 99% (w/w), or about 100% of the subject solid form of the fospropofol salt. Accordingly, in some embodiments of the disclosure, the described solid forms of fospropofol salts may contain from about 1% to about 20% (w/w), from about 5% to about 20% (w/w), or from about 5% to about 10% (w/w) of one or more other solid forms of fospropofol salts.

As used herein, unless stated otherwise, XRPD peaks reported herein are measured using CuKα radiation, λ=1.5419 Å.

The modifier “about” should be considered as disclosing the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. For example, the expression “from about 2 to about 4” also discloses the range “from 2 to 4.” When used to modify a single number, the term “about” refers to plus or minus 10% of the indicated number and includes the indicated number. For example, “about 10%” indicates a range of 9% to 11%, and “about 1” means from 0.9-1.1.

The term “migraine,” as used herein, refers to a chronic neurovascular disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of often severe headache (“migraine attacks”), typically accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and/or sound. Migraine is a clinical diagnosis, criteria for which would be known and understood by those practicing in the treatment of migraine, and would include, for example, the criteria proposed by the International Headache Society (IHS). See http://ihs-classification.org/en/.

The term “effective amount”, as used herein, refers to an amount sufficient to reduce or eliminate the patient's migraine pain. The effective amount may be the amount given in a single dose, or may be the cumulative amount given in multiple doses.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to a substance that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to a subject, such as an inert substance, added to a pharmacological composition or otherwise used as a vehicle, carrier, diluent, or release modifier to facilitate administration of an agent and that is compatible therewith.

“Refractory migraine,” as used herein, refers to migraine that fails to respond to pharmacologic treatment. Failure to respond in this regard includes, for example, failure of a pharmacological treatment to eliminate migraine pain, as well as failure of a pharmacological treatment to reduce severe or moderate migraine pain to mild migraine pain.

The terms “administering” or “administration”, as used herein, refer to delivering fospropofol into or onto the patient's body in a manner that results in the presence of propofol in the patient's systemic circulation. Any such method of administering may be used in performing the methods of the present disclosure. In some embodiments of the disclosed methods, the administering is oral, peroral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, transmucosal, sublingual, buccal, transdermal, intraintestinal, rectal, or intrapulmonary.

As used herein, the term “modified release dosage form” refers to a dosage form that releases the encompassed fospropofol over an extended period of time.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Instrumental Methods

XRPD diffractograms were collected on a Bruker D8 diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation (40 kV, 40 mA) and a 0-20 goniometer fitted with a Ge monochromator. The incident beam passes through a 2.0 mm divergence slit followed by a 0.2 mm anti-scatter slit and knife edge. The diffracted beam passes through an 8.0 mm receiving slit with 2.5° Soller slits followed by the Lynxeye Detector. The software used for data collection and analysis was Diffrac Plus XRD Commander and Diffrac Plus EVA respectively.

Samples were run under ambient conditions as flat plate specimens using powder. The sample was prepared on a polished, zero-background (510) silicon wafer by gently pressing onto the flat surface or packed into a cut cavity. The sample was rotated in its own plane. The details of the standard Pharmorphix data collection method are:

-   -   Angular range: 2 to 42° 20     -   Step size: 0.05° 20     -   Collection time: 0.5 s/step (total collection time: 6.40 min)

XRPD diffractograms were also collected on a PANalytical Empyrean diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation (45 kV, 40 mA) in transmission geometry. A 0.5° slit, 4 mm mask and 0.04 rad Soller slits with a focusing mirror were used on the incident beam. A PIXcel30 detector, placed on the diffracted beam, was fitted with a receiving slit and 0.04 rad Soller slits. The software used for data collection was X'Pert Data Collector using X'Pert Operator Interface. The data were analysed and presented using Diffrac Plus EVA or HighScore Plus.

Samples were prepared and analysed in either a metal or Millipore 96 well-plate in transmission mode. X-ray transparent film was used between the metal sheets on the metal well-plate and powders (approximately 1-2 mg) were used. The Millipore plate was used to isolate and analyse solids from suspensions by adding a small amount of suspension directly to the plate before filtration under a light vacuum. The scan mode for the metal plate used the gonio scan axis, whereas a 20 scan was utilised for the Millipore plate. The details of the standard screening data collection method are:

Samples were prepared in DMSO-d₆ solvent, unless otherwise stated. Automated experiments were acquired using ICON-NMR configuration within Topspin software, using standard Bruker-loaded experiments (¹H, ¹³C {¹H}, DEPT135). Off-line analysis was performed using ACD Spectrus Processor.

Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC)

DSC data were collected on a TA Instruments Q2000 equipped with a 50 position auto-sampler. Typically, 0.5-3 mg of each sample, in a pin-holed aluminium pan, was heated at 10° C./min from 25° C. to 300° C. A purge of dry nitrogen at 50 ml/min was maintained over the sample. The instrument control software was Advantage for Q Series and Thermal Advantage and the data were analysed using Universal Analysis or TRIOS.

Thermal Gravimetric Analysis

A nitrogen purge at 25 ml/min was maintained over the sample. The instrument control software was TRIOS and the data were analysed using TRIOS or Universal Analysis.

Example 2 Preparation of Fospropofol Procedure 1

Fospropofol disodium (100 mg, ±1 mg) was weighed into 3 HPLC vials and dissolved in water (5 vol. 0.5 ml) at RT. Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid (2.1 eq. 1 M in THF) was added to the samples and stirred for 5 minutes and no solids were observed. Samples were cooled to 5° C. and still no solids were observed. The sample containing hydrochloric acid was selected to extract the product using DCM (3× extraction with 0.5 ml DCM). The organic layers were collected and concentrated under rotary evaporator at 50° C. resulting in a clear colourless oil. This oil was analysed by 1H NMR, HPLC and scanning ion chromatography.

Procedure 2

Fospropofol disodium (2.0 g) was dissolved in water (5 vol) at RT. Once a clear solution was obtained HCl (2.1 eq., 0.5 Min water) was added and a cloudy solution was formed. The sample was transferred to a separating funnel and DCM (30 ml) added to extract the free acid but instead formed a thick white emulsion with no phase separation. DCM (130 ml) was added to try and increase phase separation and water (100 ml) was added to solubilise any NaCl precipitating out of solution. The thick white emulsion remained so THF was added to disrupt the emulsion, resulting in separation of the aqueous and organic phases both cloudy solutions. The organic layer was collected and the aqueous layer washed with THF:DCM 25:75 (2×40 ml). The organic layer was concentrated under vacuum resulting in a clear oil.

Example 3

The following procedure was used to make the potassium (from KOH), diethylamine, t-butylamine, ethylene diamine, benzathine, piperazine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, ammonium (from NH₄OH), tromethamine, benethamine, and histidine salts.

Fospropofol free acid (25 mg) was dissolved in EtOH (20 vol, 500 μl) at RT. The solutions were treated with the corresponding base (2 mol eq., added as a stock solution) at 25° C. After 10 minutes at 25° C., the mixtures were cooled to 5° C. at 0.1° C./min. After 48 hrs at 5° C. solids were filtered, air dried and analysed by XRPD, solutions were allowed to evaporate at RT. Solids formed from evaporation were analysed by XRPD, gums and oils were placed under vacuum for 3 hours. Solids were analysed by XRPD and remaining gums and oils matured at 50° C./RT in 4 hours temperature cycles for 48 hrs.

XRPD was again taken after 7 days storage at 40° C./75% RH. Form II of the diethylamine salt and Form II of the ethanolamine salt were formed by conversion of Form I of the respective salts after 7 days storage at 40° C./75% RH.

Example 4

The following procedures were used to make the calcium (from CaCl₂), magnesium (from MgCl₂), and zinc (ZnCl₂) salts.

Small Scale: Fospropofol disodium (50 mg) was dissolved in water (10 vol, 500 μl). The solutions were treated with the corresponding base (1 mol eq., added as a stock solution). Additional ethanol (500 μl) was added after the formation of a thick suspension and samples stirred for 1 hour before being filtered and dried in a vacuum oven for 2 hours at 40° C. Form I of the calcium salt and Form I of the zinc salt were produced under these conditions.

Form II of the calcium salt was produced from Form I of the calcium salt after 7 days storage at 40° C./75% RH.

Scale Up: Fospropofol disodium (500 mg) was dissolved in water (10 vol, 5 ml). The solutions were treated with the corresponding base (1 mol eq. CaCl₂), MgCl₂, or ZnCl₂). Additional ethanol* (5 ml) was added after the formation of a thick suspension and samples stirred for 1 hour before being filtered and dried in a vacuum oven for 2 hours at 40° C. *ethanol (5 ml) was added three times for the sample containing the calcium counter ion as thick precipitate continued to stop stirring. This procedure produced Form III of the calcium salt and Form II of the zinc salt.

The free acid (500 mg) was dissolved in EtOH (20 vol, 10 ml) at 50° C. The solution was treated with ethylene diamine (2 mol eq.) at 50° C. The sample was cooled to 5° C. at 0.1° C./min. After 48 hrs at 5° C. solids were filtered and dried in a vacuum oven for 2 hours at 40° C.

Example 6—Intrinsic Dissolution Rate at pH 4.5

Intrinsic Dissolution Rate was measure in GI tract buff (pH—4.5 buffer): 2.99 g sodium acetate trihydrate was dissolved in 14.0 ml 2N acetic acid in a 1000 ml volumetric flask, and then made to volume with deionised water.

Data were collected on a Sirius inform instrument fitted with a dual UV DipProbe attachment and Ag/AgCl combination pH electrode. The electrode was calibrated using the four plus parameters derived from a blank titration. The base titrant was standardised by titration with TRIS. 0.5 M HCl and NaOH aqueous solutions were used as the acid and base titrants respectively for the testing. Stirring was facilitated by a dual overhead stirrer to allow thorough mixing within the vessel, and media was introduced via a capillary bundle attached to a dispensing bank comprised of six precision dispensing units. A Peltier heating jacket was used to maintain the temperature of the titration vessel. Discs were introduced to the vessel via the tablet picker housed in the probe arm, after the desired temperature of the media had been reached. Sirius inform Assay Design, Control and Refine software were used to design, run and refine data respectively.

The reference sample was prepared as a 20.1 mM stock solution in water. One MEC data sets were then collected using five additions each of the water stock using 250, 500 and three times 750 μI aliquots, respectively. UV Spectra were then collected after each addition of the water stock to build a multi-point MEC calibration, using a 20 mm path length probe. The MEC data set was then imported into the dissolution data files in order to convert the UV absorbance measured to concentration. The concentration range for UV data collected was 124.8 μM-1.4 mM. MEC data were collected at 37° C. to match the dissolution experiments. Same MEC data was used as for faSSGf IDR experiments due to there being no change in the UV profile at this pH.

Intrinsic Dissolution Rate (IDR): Approximately. 10-20 mg of the sample was compressed in a 3 mm disc recess, under 100 kg for 2 minutes, with greaseproof paper on the compression base, to form nondisintegrating discs. The discs were then plugged with a bung so that only one surface was exposed to the media during analysis and transferred to the Sirius inform dissolution apparatus. Analysis was performed at 37° C. in 36 ml water and 4 ml GI media with the pH set to 4.5, for 1 hour with UV spectra collected every 10 seconds. A stir speed of 100 rpm was used with a 20 mm path length probe. The IDR was calculated based on the surface area of the 3 mm disc recess used (7.07 mm2 surface area). XRPD analysis was performed on all samples, both after compression of the material into the disc recess, and post dissolution analysis to observe any change in form. All analysis was performed using XRPD 2.

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD2): XRPD diffractograms were collected on a Bruker AXS C2 GADDS diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation (40 kV, 40 mA), an automated XYZ stage, a laser video microscope for auto sample positioning and a Vantec-500 2-dimensional area detector. X-ray optics consists of a single Gobel multilayer mirror coupled with a pinhole collimator of 0.3 mm. The beam divergence, i.e. the effective size of the X-ray beam on the sample, was approximately 4 mm. A 9-9 continuous scan mode was employed with a sample—detector distance of 20 cm which gives an effective 29 range of 1.5°-32.5°. The sample was exposed to the X-ray beam for 120 seconds under ambient conditions. The software used for data collection and analysis was GADDS for Win7/XP and Diffrac Plus EVA respectively.

The results are shown in the Table below.

Molar Extinction Coefficient (MEC): The reference sample was prepared as a 20.1 mM stock solution in water. One MEC data sets were then collected using five additions each of the water stock using 250, 500 and three times 750 μl aliquots, respectively. UV Spectra were then collected after each addition of the water stock to build a multi-point MEC calibration, using a 20 mm path length probe. The MEC data set was then imported into the dissolution data files in order to convert the UV absorbance measured to concentration. The concentration range for UV data collected was 124.8 μM-1.4 mM. MEC data were collected in the dissolution media {faSSGf) and at 37° C. to match the dissolution experiments.

Intrinsic Dissolution Rate (IDR): Ca. 10-20 mg of the sample was compressed in a 3 mm disc recess, under 100 kg for 2 minutes, with greaseproof paper on the compression base, to form nondisintegrating discs. The discs were then plugged with a bung so that only one surface was exposed to the media during analysis and transferred to the Sirius inform dissolution apparatus. Analysis was performed at 37° C. in 40 ml faSSGf media for 1 hour with UV spectra collected every 30 seconds. A stir speed of 100 rpm was used with a 20 mm path length probe. The IDR was calculated based on the surface area of the 3 mm disc recess used (7.07 mm2 surface area). XRPD analysis was performed on all samples, both after compression of the material into the disc recess, and post dissolution analysis to observe any change in form. All analysis was performed using XRPD 2.
